Fault Diagnosis Method of Transformer Core Looseness Based on ICEEMDAN-RCMDEand K-means
To doagnose transformer core looseness faults more effectively
a fault diagnosis method based on the improved complete ensembleEMD (ICEEMDAN) algorithm and the refined composite multiscale dispersion entropy (RCMDE) is proposed for the vibration signals of the transformer under load operation. First
the ICEEMDAN algorithm is used to decompose the vibration signal sequence of the transformer core under different degrees of looseness.Then
the entropy value of the eigenvalues is calculated by using RCMDE and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and dimensionality reduction is carried out. Finally
the K-means clustering algorithm is used to classify and identify faults on the vibration data represented by multi-groups of low-dimensional eigenvalue matrices. Combined with the core looseness fault simulation experiment of a 10 kV transformer
the results show that
compared with traditional modal decomposition and eigenvalue extraction algorithms
the proposed K-means clustering based on ICEEMDAN-RCMDEachieves excellent clustering performance with an accuracy rate of 95.6% and can effectively identify transformer core loosenese faults.
